Headlamp High/
Low-Beam Changer
Push the turn signal lever away

beams, push the lever again or pull
it toward you and release.
This indicator light turns on in the
instrument cluster when the

Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL)
DRL can make it easier for others to
see the front of your vehicle during
the day. DRL are required on all
vehicles first sold in Canada.
The DRL system makes the
dedicated lamps come on when the
following conditions are met:
.It is still daylight and the ignition
is on.
. The exterior lamp control is in
the AUTO position.
. The transmission is not in
P (Park) or the parking brake
is off.
When DRL are on, only the front
lamps will be on. The parking
lamps, taillamps, instrument panel
lights, or other exterior lamps will
not be on when the DRL are
being used.
When it is dark enough outside, the
front lamps dim to parking lamps
and the normal low-beam
headlamps turn on. When it is bright enough outside,
the regular lamps go off, and the
front DRL will take over. If the
vehicle is started in a dark garage,
the automatic headlamp system
comes on immediately. Once the
vehicle leaves the garage, it takes
approximately one minute for the
automatic headlamp system to
change to DRL if it is light outside.
During that delay, the instrument
cluster may not be as bright as
usual. Make sure the instrument
panel brightness knob is in the full
bright position. See
Instrument
Panel Illumination Control 0143.
If it is dark enough outside and the
exterior lamp control is off, a Driver
Information Center (DIC) message
may display.
Turning the exterior lamp control to
off a second time, or turning on the
headlamps will remove the DIC
message. If the parking lamps were
turned on instead, the DIC message
will continue to be displayed.
The regular headlamp system
should be turned on when needed.

P (Park).
For vehicles first sold in Canada,
the DRL can only be turned off
when the vehicle is parked.
Automatic Headlamp
System
When the exterior lamp control is
set to AUTO and it is dark enough
outside, the headlamps and parking
lamps come on automatically.
There is a light sensor on top of the
instrument panel. Do not cover the
sensor, otherwise the headlamps
will come on when they are not
needed.
The system may also turn on the
headlamps and parking lamps when
driving through a parking garage or
tunnel.
If the vehicle is started in a dark
garage, the automatic headlamp
system comes on immediately. If it
is light outside when the vehicle
leaves the garage, there is a slight
delay before the automatic
headlamp system changes to the
DRL. During that delay, the
instrument cluster may not be as
bright as usual. Make sure the
instrument panel brightness control
is in the full bright position. See
Instrument Panel Illumination
Control 0143.
When it is bright enough outside,
the headlamps and parking lamps
will turn off or may change to
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL). The automatic headlamp system
turns off when the exterior lamp
control is turned to
Oor the ignition
is off.
To turn automatic headlamp system
back on, turn the band to
Oagain,
then release it.
If the automatic headlamp system
has the headlamps turned on and
you turn the ignition off, the
headlamps will turn off. When the
driver door is opened the
headlamps and parking lamps will
illuminate for a period of time.
The length of the delayed
illumination period can be changed.
See “Exit Lighting” underVehicle
Personalization 0128.
The regular headlamp system
should be turned on when needed.
